Mourinho benches Son and Lucas as injured Holgate misses out for Everton

There are two Premier League matches kicking off simultaneously at 18:00 BST, with Bournemouth hosting Tottenham Hotspur and Everton facing Southampton.

There is bad news for owners of Son Heung-min (£9.7m) and Lucas Moura (£7.1m), with both of those wide-midfielders dropping to the bench at the Vitality.

Steven Bergwijn (£7.2m) and Erik Lamela (£5.7m) come in for those two players.

The suspended Eric Dier (£4.8m) will be unavailable until Gameweek 38+ and is replaced by Jan Vertonghen (£5.2m) at centre-half, meanwhile.

Two more popular Fantasy Premier League purchases, Serge Aurier (£5.1m) and Harry Kane (£11.0m), keep up their post-restart ever-present records.

Kane, Aurier and Son all have double-digit ownerships in the top 10k, with almost one in four of these managers owning the Korean.

For the hosts, Callum Wilson (£7.4m) returns from a two-match ban and replaces Dominic Solanke (£5.1m) in attack.

Dan Gosling (£4.8m) for Lewis Cook (£5.0m) is the only other change for Eddie Howe’s side following their 5-2 defeat by Manchester United.

At Goodison Park, Mason Holgate (£4.4m) misses out for Everton with an injury he picked up on Monday evening.

Yerry Mina (£5.3m) replaces the sidelined centre-half, while Anthony Gordon (£4.5m) for Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.3m) is Carlo Ancelotti’s only other alteration from the starting XI that lost at Spurs in Gameweek 33+.

Alex Iwobi (£5.6m) recovers from a hamstring injury to start, while the fit-again Theo Walcott (£6.2m) is among the substitutes.

Ralph Hasenhuttl has unsurprisingly kept faith with the same 11 players who beat Manchester City on Sunday, with Danny Ings (£7.3m) again leading the line.

This fixture features the second-most-bought FPL forward of Gameweek 34+, Ings, and the second-most-sold striker, Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£6.3m).

Both of those players are owned by more than one in five of the top 10k.

Bournemouth XI: Ramsdale, Smith, Kelly, Aké, Rico, Lerma, Gosling, Brooks, King, Stanislas, C Wilson.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Aurier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies, Winks, Sissoko, Lo Celso, Lamela, Bergwijn, Kane.

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Mina, Keane, Digne, Iwobi, Gomes, Davies, Gordon, Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison.

Southampton XI: McCarthy, Walker-Pieters, Stephens, Bednarek, Bertrand, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Armstrong, Redmond, Adams, Ings.

    Have to say I feel very relieved Spurs front 2 blanked. Still the 2nd team with most effective points against me and only one game to go. Burnley and Pope No.1 as always...surely he has to concede next game!

            Yeah I feel the same. Knowing Salah or Mahrez won't play would make things much easier... If Salah plays and he really wants that golden boot I'm even thinking about captaining him. I wonder if Liverpool won't play more offensively, or rather less rigid tactically, based on the game vs Brighton where both teams have created many goalscoring oppourtinities.

                I think Mané owners need to stick or risk missing a haul this weekend - the frustration of p keeping and him blanking is *nothing* compared to that of selling him and him scoring

                  You are an amazing person for explaining something I should already know. I made the exact same sideway move earlier this season ahead of when Liverpool played against Norwich and Mane was an injury concern for that game. I’m still disappointed for making that move as he actually came on as a sub and scored.

                  I have always preferred Mane compared to Salah given how clinical he is in front of goal.

                  I also remember when Mane got a 15 pointer in the final game of last season whilst all Salah got was an assist and needless to say, Salah got no bonus points given how wasteful he was.

                  Thank you so much mate.

            If Salah plays, Mane is going to have a fall out with Klopp.

            Mane was only one goal behind Salah prior to the game yesterday.

            Klopp has dragged Mane back if he doesn’t “rest” Salah this week. If that happens, let’s hope he joins a new club where managers treat their players fairly.
